A few years back, Saban, the man who created the Power Rangers, came out with a short-lived Celtic kids show called The Mystic Knights of Tir nan Og. Even though it didn't last long, I fell in love with this show. I was VERY impressed with it, especially when I realized just who had created it! I hated the Power Rangers and couldn't believe this came from Saban! Anyway, does anybody else remember it? Did you like it?

'S i Alba tìr mo chridhe. 'S i Gàidhlig cànan m' anama.Scotland is the land of my heart. Gaelic is the language of my soul.

Yeah I was amazed too! I LOATHE Power Rangers, but this was actually half way decent! I was disappointed when they took it off! It was a kids' show, so of course the acting wasn't exactly top notch, but the plots were pretty intellignet and good! The show was filmed in Ireland and the scenery was lovely! I'll look aroudnadn see if I can finds a site with some info on the show for ya...

THE MYSTIC KNIGHTS OF TIR NA NOG/FOX/1998-99 **(Peadar Lamb) King Vin Varra, the ruler of the underground kingdom of Tir na Nog. His subjects included a feisty red-winged fairy named Aideen (Kelly Campbell). When the peaceful kingdom of King Conchobar (Stephen Brennan) was attacked by the evil Queen Maeve (Charlotte Bradley) from the land of Tamra, King Vin Varra invoked all his powers to aid a group of Celtic teens in finding the legendary Mystic Armor capable of defending the emerald Isle from invaders. Successful in their quest, the teens donned the magical armor and became super heroes of ancient Ireland. The Mystic Knights included Vincent Walsh as Angus, the Mystic Knight of Earth, (with the terra sling), a thief by trade with the gift of blarney; Ivar the Mystic Knight of Water (with a barbed trident); Lisa Dwan as Deirdre, the Princess of Kells and Mystic Knight of Air (with a whirlwind crossbow); Lochlann O'Mearain as Rohan, a druid's apprentice foretold in the legend as the Mystic Knight of Fire with the Sword of Kells; and Ben Palmer as Garrett, the eventual fifth Mystic Knight. Each Mystic Knight wore a Dragon Breath Dagger and belt used to summon their dragons. The series MYSTIC KNIGHTS OF TIR NA NOG was the first American television series to be filmed entirely in Ireland. TRIVIA NOTE: In Celtic mythology, Tir na n-Og (pronounced "teer na no'gue" meaning the "land of youth") is the idyllic paradise where the dead live. The kingdom (either an island or undersea kingdom) is ruled by King Tethra of the Fomorians, a race of giants or the sea god Manannan mac Lir of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Tir na n-Og is also known as Mag Mell ("plain of joy").

I discovered tonight that I was misspelling the shows name! Althjough I've always seen Tir nan Og spelled like that, the show's title spelled it Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog! That'sa why I was having such a hard time finding info on it!
